ISU's Hazing Policy

Iowa State Pep Band

At Iowa State University, hazing is strictly prohibited. The university recognizes the severe impact hazing can have on both individuals and organizations. Our policy aligns with both the Stop Campus Hazing Act and Iowa Code § 708.10, ensuring that all students, organizations, and staff maintain a safe and respectful environment. This policy applies to all university-affiliated and student groups, including but not limited to academic organizations, sports clubs, fraternities or sororities, and other student-led groups or activities under the university's oversight or sponsorship. The hazing policy can be found in Iowa State's Policy Library.

Key Points of the Policy

Hazing is strictly prohibited for all individuals and student groups and organizations.
Failure to intervene or report hazing is also a violation of the policy.
Reporting hazing incidents promptly ensures that proper actions are taken.
Anonymous reporting is an option, but may limit the university's ability to conduct a thorough investigation, as follow-up information may not be available.
